Our 4 year old cat Geoffrey is in love with his carrot, although unbeknownst to him, he is currently in love with his third carrot. He received his first carrot at the young age of 1 and a half and was instantly taken with it. He enjoyed nuzzling it, chewing on the feathers, and generally batting it around. As he has grown older, his bond with the carrot has grown. He prefers to play with it by himself, batting it around with world cup soccer style moves. He carries it around in his mouth howling and singing. By 3 years old Geoffrey's "carrot time" developed into a nightly ritual. Just after going to bed we can look forward to a carrot concert sung through Geoffrey's teeth gripping the well-loved toy.

To the commenter who is skeptical about the excellent reviews given to this product, I can't speak for the other opinions listed here. However, I have no affiliation with the company that makes this toy. If my review seems to well-written to be trustworthy, I suppose there is nothing I can write that will convince you. Fortunately, your doubt will not damper the love between a cat and his carrot.

This is both of my cat's favorite toy, hands down. On top of being able to fill the pouch with fresh catnip whenever I so please, orange is supposedly all cat's favorite color as it is most visible to them. Why, I don't know, but both of my cats do always go for the orange version of any toy they are presented with.

BIG hit.

Our kitty (1.5 years old) loves this toy! We've gotten her probably 15 different toys in the last few months and she plays with this one the most, by far.

She prefers to play with it on her own (doesn't really enjoy chasing it) which is actually perfect, since we can't give her all the attention she desires. Sometime we'll look over and she's just rolling around with it, holing it in all four paws, rubbing her face in the orange fuzz and biting the feathers. Then she'll put it down and rub her whole body all over it. Clearly it's because of the catnip, but we've had other cat-nip toys of far less interest to her.

Quality: The problem with most cat toys seems to be the feather getting ripped out. We've had this one for a couple months now and ALL of the feathers are still intact, despite her constant tugging on them. The Velcro that holds the catnip in is solid, does not leak, and does not stick out to scratch her or anything.

Overall, it's her favorite solo toy, but when playing "chase" she's prefers the classic "feathers on a stick."

My cat Willy loves this toy. He likes the feather top, but *really* loves the catnip inside :)
UPDATE: It's been a little over a year and it's STILL his favorite toy. I find it funny that my fat cat's favorite toy looks like a piece of food :P

The Kong carrot is by far my cats' favorite toy. It has enough weight that I can throw it across the room, but is also very soft. The feathers and catnip pouch are also a nice touch that helps keep their interest. He loves to fetch it and wrestle with it. My other cat likes to chew the feathers, so we've gone through a few now, but it gets played with so much it is worth it--and they last a lot longer if I monitor their play and keep it out of reach when I can't be there to watch.

My six year old cat thinks this carrot is the best thing in the world. She's a finicky girl about what she like to play with and she will pick this carrot up & carry it around and then throws herself to floor to flip it around and grab it & give it "rabbit" kicks. I think its equally entertaining for me as it is so fun to watch her go crazy. This carrot makes my serious girl into a furry goofball!!

I bought this because I have a male cat that is obsessed with the sticks that have feathers on the top. Anyhow, they played with this carrot for about five minutes because of the catnip - I haven't seen it since. With the size of it, they easily hide it under the couch and it's never used again.

My cat loves this toy. He amuses himself with it for hours. Highly recommended!

Since I love vegetables I got this toy for my family pets as a joke (rather than getting the traditional mouse or bird). The 3 cats go nuts over this carrot toy and are constantly fighting over it. They love to hold it against their bodies and kick at the carrot or throw it in the air or smell the feathers. Great toy!! Haven't seen the cats so excited in a while.

The Kong carrot has become my cat's favorite toy. He likes to play "fetch" and now this is the toy he chooses most to bring over for us to throw for him. The feathers at the top make it super easy for him to pick it up and bring it back to continue the game. I highly recommend this product for all cats who love to play!
